Let's Paint an Umbrella!
They say that April showers bring May flowers.
So, I updated an old umbrella with some fabric paint.
Now we'll look cute while staying dry.

How to Paint your Umbrella!
1. First, I opened up the umbrella.2. Then, I took a piece of chalk
and sketched out where the letters were going to go.3. Then, I used a paintbrush to paint on the letters using fabric paint.
4. I let the paint dry according to the directions, but didn't heat set my letters because I was afraid of melting the umbrella.
Ta-da! What do you think? I think it look pretty adorable.
(Psst- I also worried about the durability of the paint. Once the paint dried according to instructions, I placed the umbrella in the shower and let it sit under running water for 4 minutes. I'm not going to lie. It was super tough waiting to see the results. Luckily for me, the paint job still looked good. Hooray! I feel hopeful that the paint will last. Check back for an update once we use the umbrella a couple of times. Cross your fingers!) Pin It
